The North Texas Mean Green take on a team they are familiar with, the Boise State Broncos, in the Frisco Bowl. Both teams were hoping for a better result and a more impressive bowl game as they fell short in their respective Conference title games.
These two teams have met several times in the past, in the last meeting left a sour taste in the mouths of the Mean Green. Boise State defeated North Texas 59-0. It's always fascinating to see how teams play when there are transitions at the Head Coach position between the regular season and their bowl game.
North Texas let go of Head Coach Sean Littrell following the loss in the Conference Title game. Will the Mean Green respond and rally the troops to upset Boise State, or will the Broncos run roughshod over North Texas?

North Texas Mean Green vs. Boise State Broncos Details
Fixture: North Texas Mean Green @ Boise State Broncos
Date and Time: Saturday, December 17, 9:15 PM ET
Venue: Toyota Stadium, Frisco, Texas
North Texas Mean Green vs. Boise State Broncos Best Pick
These two teams have contrasting styles. North Texas wants to turn this game into an up-and-down light show where passing is king. The Boise State Broncos want to win in the trenches and overpower North Texas with their running game.
Broncos RB George Holani is the critical figure in this game. Holani led Boise State in rushing with 1,133 yards while finding the end zone ten times. Boise State should be able to win up front with an offensive line that outweighs the defensive line of the Green Wave by a large margin.
If Boise State runs the ball effectively, which is their ideal game plan, they are not asking Freshman QB Taylen Green to throw the ball much. The Broncos' coaching staff is asking Green to be a game manager. Given that this is the likeliest outcome for this game takes the Under on the prop bet.
Taylen Green, QB, Boise State: 210.5 Passing Yards, Under
North Texas Mean Green vs. Boise State Broncos Final Prediction
North Texas could pull off the upset if this game turns into a shoot-out. If Boise State controls the action with the ground game, the Broncos pull away.
Boise State is too strong up front and is victorious, but the Mean Green hang tight and keep it closer than the spread would suggest. Take North Texas.
North Texas Mean Green +10.5 (-115)
